"What do you mean?" Zhao Tianyou had already expected that now the other party decided that the Meng family fishing village was still going to fight, and the bow and arrow materials must be urgently needed.

Lin Chenglin smiled slightly and said: "Longbows and hard crossbows are all trivial, and even the six-way crossbow of the divine arm bow that is strictly forbidden to flow out, as long as the price is right, I can get it." Last time, I was still a favor with Lao Meng, half sold and half sent, I didn't expect your Meng family fishing village to make such a big move, I was blind!

But there is a problem, I still can't figure it out, Han Liutao's subordinates are not rice buckets, and their weapons and equipment are not bad, but they didn't even go to Sanhe and ended up defeating. If you're willing to help me figure out what you're using to blast like thunder, I'll consider continuing to do business with you. ”

Zhao Tianyou gasped, he didn't expect this Mu Chenglin to be so well-informed, and found out the key to the victory of the Meng family's fishing village, and I am afraid that simple prevarication is unreasonable.

"Mr. Mu is amazing, he really knows everything from his hands and eyes, our fishing village really relies on this thing to win, I want to name it, I'm afraid Mr. Mu has heard of it." Zhao Tianyou's mind turned around, and he deliberately stopped selling it.

Mr. Mu's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward slightly and said, "What did Xiaoyou say?" ”

"A hundred years ago, during the siege of Bianjing, when the general Li Gang was defending the city, he fired artillery at night to repel the Jin soldiers.

Mu Chenglin nodded slightly and said: "This is indeed the case, and there is a record of the martial arts, but there is no news after this battle, and the real thing has disappeared in Bianjing, is it moved to the Mengjia fishing village?" Hahaha, do you think that you are old and delirious, and you can't make up a story to entertain me? ”

"The old gentleman forgives the sin, but he doesn't mean that, the Feiyun Thunderbolt Cannon was destroyed by the wicked, and the method has been lost, how can it be moved to the Mengjia fishing village. We have invited a craftsman from the fishing village, who has been a steward in the ordnance supervision for many years, and has been fascinated by the thunderbolts made by his predecessors, trying to study the restoration techniques, and there are only a little achievements at present. Zhao Tianyou observed Mu Chenglin's expression as he spoke, and seeing his frowning brows and thinking hard, he probably believed it.

At that time, the Song people had already understood the principle of artillery, but other technical support was not enough. A hundred years ago, the Feiyun Thunderbolt Cannon was cast with all kinds of hard work and countless manpower and financial resources, and finally successfully cast two statues and placed them in Bianjing City.

It is indeed a fact that the two Flying Cloud Thunderbolt cannons fired three cannons in a row at that time, shocking and killing countless golden soldiers. However, the facts later made people shake their heads, and after the first thunderbolt cannon was fired three times, there were hidden wounds in the chamber of the cannon, and the improper operation exploded at the head of the city, killing and wounding more than 10 gunners and soldiers.

The craftsman in charge of the casting and others also died when the second thunderbolt was blown up, because it was a curse from heaven to explode at the head of the city and hurt people, and the research and manufacture of cast iron artillery stalled for a while, and even the use of gunpowder was not taken seriously.

Of course, this is only a small episode in the development of gunpowder in the Song Dynasty, because the power of gunpowder formula has not been strong enough, and the long-range attack weapon that dominates the battlefield pattern is still the bow and crossbow.

Since Mu Chenglin was able to get regular military equipment to sell, and he was also an expert in the study of ordnance, Zhao Tianyou's words touched his heart, where should he go in the direction of the use of gunpowder? Not only did he not know, but even the ordnance superintendent who presided over the imperial ordnance manufacturing did not know what to do.

"This craftsman seems to be quite true, he helped you make good things in the Mengjia fishing village, I don't know if there were mistakes in the manufacturing process? How much damage is there? Mu Chenglin no longer doubted Zhao Tianyou's words, he already believed in the authenticity of this technology, and he was also interested in the cost of manufacturing.

"Thanks to God, we didn't even experiment once at first, but only made a dozen of them, just in time for the pirates to attack, and they were all used directly. In fact, the pirates were all panicked, fell into the ditch and fell a lot, and the rest were frightened and forgot to resist and were killed by bows and arrows. None of them were killed, and many were injured, and the power was limited. Zhao Tianyou sighed after speaking, but also responded to the scene, all the people who were interested in the fun of gunpowder were not powerful enough and were stumped.

Mu Chenglin nodded yes, the situation was quite in line with his understanding, and then asked: "It's hard to understand after all, if you can have a few samples to open the old man's eyes, that's a good thing!" Haha, you won't refuse me, Xiaoyou! ”

"That's not a trivial matter, wrap it on me, and you must send a few over for the old gentleman to appreciate." I also hope that Mu Lao will take care of our Meng family fishing village, some pirates escaped, and they also released the wind to organize people to come to take revenge, we are also in order to survive, we have to prepare in advance! ”

"Good, good, good! The original price is supplied, one hundred and twenty sets of longbows, each with thirty flying feather arrows, this time it is something from the Northern Imperial Forest Army, and the quality is two percent better than the last time you bought. ”

Zhao Tianyou said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, maybe I miscalculated the account just now, and the number reported is wrong." This time, I will order 300 sets of longbows, each set with 90 arrows, and the god arm bow you mentioned, and give me 50 sets, what do you think? "Zhao Tianyou secretly pondered in his heart, since you want to know the secret of the grenade, then you have to take out something more to exchange, it is impossible to open your eyes without paying a price.

Mu Chenglin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Okay, just depend on you once, I'm optimistic about you, little friend!" The future is like a sea of limits, it is too condescending in Meng's fishing village, do you have any plans to come and mess around with the old man for a few days? ”

"Thank you Mu Lao, you have a good intention, we have the opportunity to sit together, drink tea and chat, how close and close!"

Zhao Tianyou and Mu Chenglin finalized the delivery time and place, and Mu Chenglin specially instructed that when the delivery was made, he must bring eight bamboo grenades, and Zhao Tianyou turned around and said goodbye and went down the mountain. When he had just walked out of the short distance, a middle-aged nun came up to him, and there was a woman in a black scarf and a masked face next to her.

Because the path of the winding mountain was not very wide, Zhao Tianyou slowed down out of politeness, and gave way to the side. But Meng Hao's eyes were abrupt, he stared at the bald head of the nun twice, and there was a smile on his face, and the woman who was masked by the black scarf looked at it squarely, and immediately stood still.

"Stop! What you see, what you laugh at! The masked woman in a black scarf had fiery eyes and stared at Meng Hao viciously.
